I'm a PAL user, aussie one at that, and Mario Kart Wii isn't officially released here till the 24th April. It's released 11th April in the UK, and not till the 27th April in the US.

Just finished getting the game then, but i'm wondering, it seems a huge amount of NTSC USA gamers are downloading it, and how many of them are actually going to go online with a game 3 weeks early on their console, that will be as obvious a sign as a dodgy console as you can get...

UK users no worries, the game is nearly out there, but i reckon the potential here, for Nintendo to look at why they have thousands playing from the US might be a bad thing in the long run.

Anyone agree?

(I was one of the few who didn't get banned for going online over a week and a bit early with Halo 3, but many others i know did, Mario Kart Wii is 3 weeks early and surely Nintendo will know any NTSC USA player is using a dodgy game.)

They didn't do anything with Brawl, which had a larger release date gap (End of Jan for Japan, beginning of March for NA).
And of course, the EU version of Brawl isn't even out yet or have a release date, so yeah...
